Bloomsburg,Columbia County -- Columbia County E.M.A. officials along with the county commissioners and State Senator John Gordner and Congressan Lou Barletta met Monday morning to discuss on-going recovery efforts in Columbia County.
Barletta said, "It is important that flood victims document their damage. We need to make sure we get all the data into the state and then they will send it to P.E.M.A. I am confident we will get help but we can't waste any time."
State Senator John Gordner echoed Barletta's comments. Gordner said, "This is the time to get your records in place, because when F.E.M.A. comes here we want to make sure we give them a clear picture of what has happened here."
